Brad's Status

A contented suburban dad confronts the lingering doubts of his unfulfilled college dreams when a road trip with his musically gifted son forces him to compare his modest life to the seemingly glamorous successes of his old friends, and he must decide whether true happiness lies in acceptance or relentless ambition.

Synopsis

Brad enjoys a fulfilling career, a loving wife, and a comfortable life in suburban Sacramento, though it doesn't quite match the vision he had during his college years. While accompanying his musically gifted son on a university tour, Brad finds himself comparing his current situation to that of his four closest college friends, who appear to lead wealthier and more glamorous lives. As circumstances bring him back into contact with these friends, Brad begins to wonder if his own life is truly a failure or if theirs may be more flawed than they seem.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
